Astronomy: A Free Open Source Textbook

Astronomy is a free, open source textbook designed for introductory astronomy courses.
The book begins with relevant scientific fundamentals and progresses through an exploration of the solar system, stars, galaxies, and cosmology. The Astronomy textbook builds student understanding through the use of relevant analogies, clear and non-technical explanations, and rich illustrations. Mathematics is included in a flexible manner to meet the needs of individual instructors.
The copyright date is 2016 so it won't be quite up to date, but it's still a good resource if you want to find out some basic information about an astronomical subject. You can read the book online or download it in PDF, iBooks, or Kindle formats.
